In recent years, by inputting a number from the telephone 43 or a character from the data terminal 44 after the calling number, a ringing tone is generated and these numbers and characters are displayed on the display 48 of the wireless paging receiver 41. There is more to do.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. First
The radio paging radio shown in the figure is a configuration diagram of a receiver provided with a light emitting body 11, a sounding body 12 for notifying a user of a call, and a display 13 for displaying numeric and character information.

Hereinafter, the operation will be described. When the radio paging signal is received by the antenna 14 while the switch 10 of the radio paging receiver is on, the received radio paging signal is demodulated in the radio unit 15. The demodulated signal is analyzed by the logic unit 16 as control means, and is compared with an ID number (identification number) written in a rewritable read-only memory (EEPROM) 17. If the call number and the ID number match, the light emitting body 11 and the sounding body 12 notify the user of the call by sound and light. At this time, if the number and character information signals are sent simultaneously with the call, the contents are displayed on the display unit 13 and the internal RAM of the logic unit 16 is displayed.
To store the contents. The user can press the display readout switch 18 at any time to switch the internal RAM of the logic section 16
Can be read out.

In the radio paging receiver of this embodiment, a rewritable read-only memory (EEPRO) follows the paging signal.
When a signal indicating the storage address of the M (hereinafter simply referred to as ROM) 17 is received, the storage content of the ROM 17 corresponding to the received storage address is read, and the message is displayed on the display 13.

Here, the ROM 17 will be described with reference to FIG. The ROM 17 is divided into an identification number storage area 21 for storing an identification number as an identification number, a function setting area 22 for setting individual functions of a call receiver, and a user-rewritable area 23. . The rewritable area 20 is further divided into 1 to m message storage areas, each of which is divided into a message storage area 24 to which memory addresses are assigned, and 1 to n additional storage areas, and additional memory addresses are respectively assigned. And an additional storage area 25. The message corresponding to the received address is stored in the message storage area 24.

Next, how to use the message storage area 24 and the additional storage area 25 will be described.

The message storage area 24 can be freely written and rewritten by a user carrying the radio pager 41. In the message storage area 24, for example, home, company,
Store the phone number or short text of the office etc., write a new message as needed (maximum m),
Alternatively, it can be rewritten. As described above, the calling party transmits the memory number (memory address) to display the telephone number or short sentence on the display 13 to notify the user of the requirement and has a kind of speed dial function. It was made.

Next, the operation of writing (rewriting) a message to the message storage area 24 will be described with reference to FIGS.

When the user turns on the power switch 10 of the paging receiver 41 in step S1, the sounding body 12 generates an initial sound in step S2. If the user does not perform any operation, the initial sound is made after a predetermined time has elapsed in step S5.
Stop at

If the message storage area write mode setting switch 19a is pressed in step 3 until the initial sound stops (until a predetermined time elapses), the initial sound stops, and the steps S31 and S32 stop the predetermined time. Message storage area 24
Is set to the write mode. At this time, the user himself / herself wants to input the ID number of the radio paging receiver 41, one of the message storage area numbers (memory addresses) 1 to m to be input using the telephone 43 or the data terminal 44 (see FIG. 4). The number or character information is transmitted to the wireless paging receiver 41 as additional information. These data transmitted through the system shown in FIG. 4 are received by the paging receiver 41. In the receiver 41, a ringing tone is generated and the ID
If the number comparison results match, the transmitted message such as the memory address and the number or character information is displayed on the display unit 13. At the same time, the logic unit 16 writes the transmitted message in the designated message storage area 24m. Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time, a normal reception mode is set in step 6.

In order for the caller to display the written numeric or character information on the display 13, for example, an asterisk * signal (a signal indicating that the next signal is a signal indicating a memory address) is added after the ID number. Subsequently, a number (memory address) indicating the message storage area may be transmitted.

The additional storage area 25 is an area that the user uses personally instead of a memo. Therefore, the caller cannot display the information stored here.

Subsequently, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG.
The operation of writing a message to 25 will be described. here,
The description of the same operation as the operation of writing a message to the message storage area 24 will be omitted.

When the power switch 10 is turned on and the initial sound is generated, and the write mode setting switch 19b for additional storage area is pressed in step S4, the receiver 41 performs the processing in step S4.
In 1 and S42, the write mode for the additional storage area 25 is set for a predetermined time.

After setting the write mode for additional storage area 25,
The ID number and the additional storage area number (1, 2,..., N;
If the contents of the (additional memory address) memo are transmitted, writing is performed.

Display 13 shows the contents written in the additional storage area 25.
After the normal reception mode is entered in step S6, the additional storage area write mode setting switch 19 is displayed.
When b is pressed, the logic 16 sequentially reads out the contents written in the additional storage area 25 of the ROM 17 in the order of the additional storage area number (additional memory address) and causes the display 13 to display them one after another. Thus, the user can use the additional storage area 25 instead of a memo.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the write mode setting switch is provided, and the control means writes the write information received when the write mode is set to the storage area. The effect is as follows.

1. The user can freely write numerical information such as a specific telephone number and character information such as a company name, which are frequently used by a user in a normal calling procedure, into individual wireless call receivers. Further, the caller does not need to transmit all of the information, and the call can be simplified simply by inputting, for example, a two-digit number indicating the address number. Further, the user can freely write at any time, and a special writing device is not required, and the window work of the service company is reduced.

2. Numerical and character information to be recorded can be written to individual wireless paging receivers in a normal paging procedure, and can be used as a kind of memo, providing new functions to users.
